The fact of the matter is that Loughner's family was trying to get him some sort of mental evaluation or treatment because they were concerned he might be dangerous, but because of budget cuts (forced by the taxes-can-only-be-cut crowd) there were none to be found.
Since when does responsibility for such a need for mental evaluation belong solely to the government (any branch)? Seems to me the Loughners might have wanted to pay for this evaluation out of their own pockets if no gov program was available; don't blame them for looking for gov money, but, somewhere along the line, this becomes family responsibility.
